请问deadline是看寄出,还是寄到?

我申请的学校,12月29日截止,但老板的推荐信还没写好,我又不敢催他.圣诞节也不知道快递公司是否照常服务.急得要命.
不知道deadline是不是算寄出的时间,请指教!

Usually, deadline is the time when schools receive your materials. You can confirm it on their websites.

Sometimes, it is necessary to state the importance of meeting the deadline to your recommenders, of course, in a small and "soft" way.
